uutils coreutils 0.2.0 is a cross-platform reimplementation of the GNU coreutils in Rust. While all programs have been implemented, some options might be missing or behavior might differ. uutils coreutils aims to be a drop-in replacement for the GNU utils. Differences with GNU are treated as bugs. Our key objectives include: Matching GNU's output (stdout and error code) exactly, better error messages, comprehensive internationalization support (UTF-8), improved performance, extensions when relevant (example: --progress). uutils aims to work on as many platforms as possible, to be able to use the same utils on Linux, macOS, Windows and other platforms. This ensures, for example, that scripts can be easily transferred between platforms.
